Wellbutrin - Can my family Dr.Prescribe this for me?

I had just went to the dr for some depression symtoms and she said I could try zoloft which i had taken in the past but i really dont remeber how it made me feel,but my insurance does not cover it. I have read about welbutrin and the reviews people have said it has done for them and it sounds like the perfect medicine for my symptoms.

I'm praying that this will be the only antidepressant I have to take and hope it works!!!

I hope it works too Ann, yet many of us have gone the route of the Guinea Pig as far as antidepressants go, sometimes one must try many to find the one that works. But if you think Wellbutrin is the one for you, it probably is!Best wishes

I know everyones different but how long does it normally take to notice effects from the wellbutrin??

Ann, you may feel it's effects right away or it could take up to 14 days to work, I felt it from the first pill, but I am so sensitive to any medication.Let us know how you are doing? Actually pledge is the guy to ask about how long it takes for wellbutrin to work! The man knows his anti-D's!Lara

Hello Ann12. Of course she can. Wellbutrin is a antidepressant that is becoming one of the most prescribed of all the antidepressants. The side effects are tolerable and it does a good job in fighting depression. Two side effects that might be of interest. Almost 20% of the people taking it lose weight. So, if you need to shed a few pounds, thats a plus. The other one is less kind, insommnia. Close to just under a 25% have a sleeping problem as a result of takingh the drug. Good health and wishes to you,pledge

Hey Pledge... I just had a question and wanted to see if you could possibly answer?? I've been taking the wellbutrin for about 3 days 150mg not really noticing a change? How long does it normally take to start feeling better??

Hello again Ann12. It varies from one to another, generally you'll most likely begin to feel some what better by day 10 or even a bit later. It can take upwards to a month before the full effects of the drug are felt. Have a great day,pledge
